Read Full Detailed Report - Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood

Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood is a Western themed shooter from Techland and Ubisoft, and the second game in the Call of Juarez series. You play as one of two brothers, Ray and Thomas, and the other one is computer controlled. Gameplay mainly consists of shooting your way through a bunch of levels that look like sets from A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly.

I have the full version and have not seen any issues as of about halfway through. I will report back when I finish the game. I'm playing in 1920x1200.

I never noticed the loading screens were stretched... that sucks.

The load screens are actually squashed in 4:3, not stretched in 16:9.

This game works in Nvidia Surround, but the crosshairs are quite fat and thus distracting. There seems to be a little vertical cropping too. Frame rates also plummet after the game saves or at other random, frequent intervals, though this is 'solved' by hitting ESC and reentering the game.

Not really worth the trouble, in my opinion.

Here's the new fix for the stretched crosshairs in triplemonitor for single player. It's a pain, but it works. I'm using Windows 7 64-Bit, so directory locations may be different for fix.

Step 1. Download and install 7-Zip
Step 2. Go to your Steam/SteamApps/Common/ Call of Jaurez - Bound in Blood/ CoJ2 directory
Step 3. Use 7-zip to open up the Data0.pak file.
Step 4. You need to extract the file Data/Menu/Hud/HUD_Common.xui
Step 5. Use a program like Notepad++ to edit HUD_Common.xui

Run a search for 1280 and replace it with your resolution width
Run a search for 720 and replace it with your resolution height

Save file.

Copy this file into [username]/My Documents/Call of Juarez - Bound in Blood/Data/Menu/Hud

You will have to create the directories Data/Menu/Hud

Now only to find an fov fix, which isn't really necessary and fix for the cut scenes, we'd be in great shape.
